    i really like this one, it reminds me of my sister a bit sometimes she says nonsense stuff or sings songs of just one or a few words, like, cooking the eggs cooking the eggs cooooooookking the eeeeggggs. you get the idea. i like this webcomic the way it is the fact that you do talk about what you think and what is happening in the world is good and interesting i enjoy hearing your thoughts please keep things the way they are i like to see other peoples comments there hasnt been a comic strip here ididnt like :)

    @ DRKS : I would TOTALLY buy that game:D!
    Ahh, lovely randomness, Woo is too cute! That’s it, I’m moving to Northia.

    Now, all we need is for Sandra to marry a relative of Emperor Norton and we can establish a dynasty to ultimately overthrow the outdated and obsolete republican government and reinvigorate America!

    another person named will? awsome.
    and i compleatly agree with you. the comic is good and the auther should continue to create his/her views of the world.

    for once, this is rather innocent. it’s nice.

    @RJF: America already had 2 monarcys ruling it before. one was the British (a side note, it looks like poor little ol’ P.M. G. Brown is about to be sent packing in upcoming elections. we won’t miss him) and the Kenneys. both of them did not end so well. how about she lead an invasion force and take over Burma instead?

    It’s one of those comic trips that make me just giggle at the end and feel warm inside. Thank you!

    I propose instead that she find a way to claim the title of (If I may indulge in dog latin) Imperator Cesar Romanus Pontifex Maximus Sandra.

    Well, you can’t say she isn’t getting her agenda accomplished

    That robe, crown, and scepter are perfect. She really looks imperial!

    I’m getting the feeling this one would make more sense if I had a link to the news article that inspired it or something.

  22. Long Tom says:

    I don’t think this strip isd linked to any particular news item. The idea is that when you’re a fantasy empress, you can imagine all the powers you want and not have to deal with real problems, unlike the President of the United States (or any other politician) who has to deal with real problems with their respective limited authorities.

    Just finished going through your archives and consider me hooked! <3

    I can hear Obama now: “Aw man, why do they get all the fun? That’s it! Michelle, get the girls, we’re gonna hang out in the park today. Secret service guy, fetch me my grillin’ attire!”

    “Right away, Mr. President!”

    I just started reading this comic. Love it. Your writing has a heavy Watterson feel, with out being a rip off, to it, and the art is top notch. I’ve read through the entire archives in one night. When I get home from work, this is *so* getting bookmarked on my computer.

    Sandra & Woo, touching my hearth since the death of Wil Eisner, Keep up the good work.

    This was really inspiring, first time I tried to “understand” It but then I remembered that when kid, you dont need no understanding of things like this, That is why really we envy Sandra and Woo. We like them, we really do… No president has come close to that

    I suspect Calvin & Hobbes is one of the major inspirations for this comic. I can’t wait for there to be a downhill sledding comic.. (Or perhaps a game of Woo-Ball, where the rules are never the same?)

    “…the President … ought to be pretty jealous of our power.”

    Yeah, well…then again, he’s pretty jealous of ANY power he doesn’t have.

    I have the power to command 3 cats and a dog *laughs evilly*

    You have the power to command three cats and one dog. Maybe the dog actually listens.

  33. Novil says:

    While one cannot deny the general influence of Calvin and Hobbes I don’t think this particular strip would work as well if you’d take Calvin and Hobbes instead of Sandra and Woo. At least Hobbes would rather come up with a snarky remark or something.

    Truly, one can not command a cat. If they do as you ask, they’re only humoring you.

    Oh, my cats take commands alright. Then they push their luck with me anyway. Another sweet episode btw.
